5.2.2.1 Step 1 – Create a New File or Open Existing File

To begin creating a new program, press the New Program button. To open an
existing program, press the Open Program button and select a file from the
resulting browser window.

5.2.2.2 Step 2 – Select Datalogger and Specify Scan Interval

Click the arrow next to Datalogger Model to display a list of Campbell
Scientific dataloggers. Select the datalogger type.

Set the Scan Interval, or period for each measurement cycle.

When choosing a scan interval, remember that faster scan intervals will use
more power. For most applications, a 10 to 60 second scan interval is
sufficient. If faster scan intervals are required for your application, make sure
there is sufficient time for the execution of all instructions in the program
(refer to the section in the datalogger manual on Execution Intervals for
additional information).
